NRA Takes Down Facebook Page, Goes Silent on Twitter
ACCORDING TO SLATE.COM
On Dec. 13, the National Rifle Association's Twitter account announced a giveaway promotion, thanked its followers for getting its Facebook page up to 1.7 million "likes," and related a story from Wyoming in which a gunman apparently retreated from a nail salon after realizing one of its customers was "packing heat." It tweeted the Wyoming case using the hashtag #ArmedCitizen.
On Dec. 14, the day an armed citizen killed 26 unarmed women and children at a Connecticut elementary school, the NRA's Twitter account went silent. It has not tweeted since. Meanwhile, its Facebook page has disappeared, along with those 1.7 million "likes." Navigating to www.facebook.com/nationalrifleassociation now redirects to the Facebook homepage.
